This line up will be complemented with another set of bands from every show, in this multi-city tour to make this a complete- solid armament to top it off. Check poster below for the line up.

Legendary British Thrashers from the peak 80’s, ONSLAUGHT has now officially joined forces with Proximity Productions- Management for the Asian- Australian region.

Onslaught‘s guitarist Nige Rockett comments: “We’ve been to Asia several times in recent years and it’s clearly an expanding market where Metal music is very much on the rise. It would be awesome to increase the ‘Onslaught‘ profile in the region and i think working with ‘Proximity Productions’ will definitely give us a huge advantage. We’ve been in discussion with the company for some months now and their vision for the band is very cool, the vibes are extremely positive and we look forward to this new challenge with Harsha and his team.“

On signing up with Onslaught, the owner of PP adds, “It is indeed an honour and a privilege to work with such big names from the classic era. One of those bands that remain true to it’s form even to this day and age. It’s a surreal experience that we begin our journey together now.“

ABSOLUTUS is a Belgium based Black Metal outfit that has been shattering the shelter of the unconscious since 2003. Their lyrical content deals primarily with nihilism, metaphysical journeys, eerie experiences and psychology inspired by writers such as E.M. Cioran and F. Nietzsche. Starting out as a traditional black metal entity, their absolution shifted towards a more aesthetic and experimental approach. Signed to independent label Abstruse Eerie Radiance.

For a band that has had four successful releases (2 full-lengths and 2 EPs); the upcoming 2017 year is going to be a tester with lots of things planned out with the new upcoming releases and collaborations. About teaming up with Absolutus, guitarist Abstrusus says, “We’re glad to work with Proximity Productions in order to keep on shattering the shelter of the unconscious. We’re looking forward to this cooperation as we’re currently working on several releases shifting towards a more coherent approach.”

ARNWALD is a one man project that emphasises on Dark Ambient/ Industrial music with Post Black Metal influences; that is the brainchild of Arnaud Vansteenkiste. ARNWALD had released his debut album titled ‘Primal Expurgation’ recently via Abstruse Eerie Radiance, Belgium earlier in June this year. Arnaud who plays all the instruments, does vocals and also the artworks for this project adds, “Spreading such deep and obscure musical torments is not an easy task but I am really sure that Proximity Productions will take up this challenge and give Arnwald the necessary boost to snatch more souls in my eerie microcosm.”

Arnwald’s music is characterised by an eerie sensation that grips the listeners through out bringing about a mesmerizing aura while imparting a dark essence through out its listening experience; eclipsing past an annihilating portal.

Lebenssucht is an Ambient Black Metal band with members of Humanitas Error Est, Maladie, Absolutus and ex members of Enthroned, Necroblaspheme among others who are based in Germany, Bulgaria and Belgium. The music is rife with guitars that are rich with melodies and drums that blast through your ears. The ambience produced is soothing yet goes parallel with the overall extremism the band aims for. Supported by a tremendous production work that stands afoot, the band has a lot of new things in store for. Deha, the band’s guitarist/ bassist says, “With Lebenssucht, we’re just expressing everything we have, feel and we vomit it on the face of the world, as a raw, true form. Working with Proximity Productions is definitely a major point for us, as we need to spread the disease more and more, because it should be known, felt and it should inspire.”

Lebenssucht are working on an upcoming music video right now, which will be announced next week.
